– Even in Soviet times the innovation movement was actively developing.

If desired, anyone can make a contribution to the plant development. The main thing here is the sense of personal involvement in common cause. It is very pleasant that every year the number of useful proposals increases.
8 employees of the plant were awarded according to the results of the year.
Dmitry Kasimov, head of the evaporator section of TPP-2 has developed a scheme for separating reagent supply for water treatment at the evaporation station.

The head of section of pulp and paper production shop Andrey Grebenev and the leading mechanic of pulp production Pavel Kukin have improved the system for felt tracing and conditioning on paper machine №6.

We have many more ideas.
